Welcome! A message from Town Supervisor Don Clavin
Despite the chilly weather that will soon be upon us this winter and spring, there is still much to be excited about here in the Town of Hempstead! Our Department of Recreation offers a wide variety of recreational events, sports lessons, fitness, and cultural arts classes for residents of all ages. The Newbridge Arena ice rink in Bellmore is open year-round and offers both public and private skating sessions, while visitors can take a tour of the Rock Hall Museum in Lawrence. Elsewhere in Hempstead Town, Lido and Merrick Road golf courses are currently open for tee times, while the Norman J. Levy Park and Preserve in Merrick remains a popular destination for hiking trails and taking in the scenic views atop the summit, weather permitting. On the behalf of the Town Board, I wish you all a happy, safe and healthy new year, and I hope to see you around the town this winter and spring!
